Yeah, but i'm reeeeeaaalll impatient - I dont need to save, i have it - now - so i want it - now. In a few years I'll be really bored and will want a whole new car, not new parts for an old one....

I pray every night. lol. i am hoping some companies answer soon..

Bulletproof Automotive has the Blitz kit in stock...

so tempting, but there are fitment issues, plus you're on your own for management.

It is within our power to show them we have strong interest in this product:

bah...its a centrifugal supercharger...where is my roots type at???

cali yaris · 08-08-2007, 11:26 PM

The Blitz is a roots type, isn't it?

Thirty-Nine · 08-08-2007, 11:27 PM

I don't know if I'd say the 1NZ-FE is new; it's been in the U.S. since 2000 in the Echo.

mandriu · 08-09-2007, 12:28 AM

I would try it.

but when the whole import scene as a majority switches to micro compacts, you'll have the early body... sort of having a clean eg with a motor swap. this car is going to be a classic.

plus, if you wait for the demand to grow, they'll have engine swap kits with ecu, cluster, mounts, axles, shift linkage, and everything else you need all in one kit and with a low price! but i still agree with you, i want it now too!

ya but who fixes up echos? lol

people started fixing up civics more in the early 90's so they have at least 10 years on this motor buddy.

i guess im used to my xrs w/ 11.5:1 compression

10.5 is realatively low

boost 'er up

cdydjded · 08-09-2007, 09:04 AM

Prediction: If and when this S/C comes out & after they figure out how to convert our pulleys to 5 grooves from 3, it will cost about 3500-4500 for the system. Considering that there are 3 members out of 3000+ that have a turbo or s/c kit I say that this kit will be a sales disapointment to company making it. Sorry to be so pesimistic but sometimes the truth hurts.

Thirty-Nine · 08-09-2007, 09:48 AM

I don't think it pesimistic at all -- it's reality. Most people buying a $13,000 new car don't have an additional $4,000 to dump into a supercharger.

true story

besides, i wouldnt wanna kill my powertrain warranty immediately....

lostmind · 08-09-2007, 11:28 AM

true for most people.

Personally, I'd spend $5k on it. but I'm Canadian... this car wasn't so cheap.

thebarber · 08-09-2007, 11:32 AM

ya, i feel like if i were out of warrany and already had intake, exhaust and a header, id drop 3500-4500usd on a blower....

eTiMaGo · 08-09-2007, 12:51 PM

yeah, it's the curse of the new car, there's nothing wrong with it, everything's still under warranty, most people won't wanna mess with that... MOST people...

I dont feel "curse of the new car" is the problem. The problem is cheap car cheap owners. And also most members here are not performance oriented. They cringe at the thought of spending $3000 turbo kit.

Thirty-Nine · 08-09-2007, 01:48 PM

I cringe at spending $3,000 on a turbo kit for a 1NZ-FE since it's nearly a quarter of the price of the entire car.
